Insanity

All types of Insanity are combined when calculating your overall Insanity. Unlike Madness levels, Insanity cannot be viewed, however once you have accumulated enough Insanity you will gain a Madness level and your Insanity will reset to 0. Insanity can be lowered by doing calming things.

Passive Insanity

All pilgrims slowly gain Insanity whenever they are online. Being online for roughly 30 to 50 hours without dealing with your Sanity at all will definitely cause you to reach level 10 Madness. New arrivals to the New World do not accumulate passive Insanity for 48 hours.

Players may experience a Psychotic Episode where they are entirely positive that they are a turkey. Bats spawn while mining tiles in a mine as a result of a Psychotic Episode. This means bat spawning on the whole should be less. Players may experience a Psychotic Episode where they find the world's largest Salami. Players may experience a Psychotic Episode where their own blood is found all over the cloth produced from a loom.
